Slur from demisemiquaver in A (→GE→FE1→FE2)

Slur from semiquaver in EE & FESB

In the main text we keep the notation of A (→GE→FE1→FE2), in which the slur starts from the tied d4 demisemiquaver. Chopin would often apply such a type of notation of slurs throughout his entire life. The equivalent notation of EE and FESB probably reflects the individual preferences of the engravers of those editions.
